Aloo Matar Dry Recipe, How to make dry aloo matar recipe

Ask any one what is their favorite vegetable, I am sure most of them will say it is the humble aloo or potato. And I am no different. When I was small I could talk potato, walk potato and sleep potato. In fact I was so fond of anything to do with the potato that one of my cousin used to tease me that whenever he visits our home, I am always eating potato… Lol!!!

This aloo matar dry recipe, as the name suggest, is made of potato and peas. What a delightful combination!! Two of my favorite veggies in one dish. Now that’s what I call a perfect recipe. This aloo matar dry recipe is no rocket science. All I have done is added some personal touch by adding the peanuts. That’s it!!

So let me not go on and on about the absolutely delicious taste of it and get started with the aloo matar dry recipe.

Until next time,
